Weekly Water Facts

Brought to you by Water Marque Inc.

Fact #1

Drinking
too much water too quickly can lead to water intoxication. Water
intoxication occurs when water dilutes the sodium level in the
bloodstream and causes an imbalance of water in the brain. Water intoxication is most likely to occur during periods of intense athletic performance.

Fact #2

While
the daily recommended amount of water is eight cups per day, not all of
this water must be consumed in the liquid form. Nearly every food or
drink item provides some water to the body.

Fact #3

Soft
drinks, coffee, and tea, while made up almost entirely of water, also
contain caffeine. Caffeine can act as a mild diuretic, preventing water
from traveling to necessary locations in the body.
